DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for portable goods, for example, for storing a toothbrush and a toothpaste tube, a cosmetic, a shampoo, a rinse, etc., which are carried in close proximity to each other. And used to carry.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art Containers for portable goods have long been made of leather or metal. However, since the contents of the leather or metal container cannot be seen from the outside, there is an inconvenience that the container must be opened each time to check the contents. Therefore, recently, portable containers have been made of transparent synthetic resin.

[0003] When a hard resin is used as a resin when a portable product container is made of a transparent synthetic resin, the container has a fixed shape and cannot be packed in a small gap such as a bag or a trunk. Shows disadvantages. Therefore,
Containers have been made of soft synthetic resins, which can be deformed to some extent if necessary.

[0004] Containers made of a soft synthetic resin are often in the shape of a bag or a tube. The bag-shaped container was opened and closed with a zipper on one side, and the cylindrical container was formed with a tongue at one end, and the tongue was folded back to open and close. However, when the thickness of the container thus made is small, the container itself is too deformable, so that the contents are also deformed, so that the container does not serve as a container. When the size is large, the shape of the container is maintained, but there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to take out the contents.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention seeks to remedy the above-mentioned drawbacks. That is, the present invention relates to a portable product container in which the contents can be seen through from the outside, and the outer shape is tentatively determined so that the contents are not significantly deformed, and can be deformed to a certain extent and It is an object of the present invention to provide a container which can be packed in a small gap and which can easily take out the contents.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor tried to construct a container by forming the container into two parts, an edge part and a film part, and combining the two parts. The edge portion serves to hold the shape of the container, and its structure is such that two symmetrical frames are connected by a hinge portion, and the hinge portion allows the two frames to be freely opened and closed. I decided that. In addition, a transparent synthetic resin film was attached inside each of the frames, and the periphery of the film was fixed to each frame so that the contents could be seen through the films. The container thus made can retain its shape due to the edges, can change its shape at the skin, and can see through its contents, and can be opened wide for easy removal. It was confirmed. The present invention has been completed based on such confirmation.

The present invention comprises a thick synthetic resin edge portion and two transparent and flexible synthetic resin films formed separately from the edge portion and provided inside the edge portion. is, the edges are integrally capable mutually superimposed symmetrical two frames to each other by hinged section, each frame is the inner part thereof
It is notched in a stepped shape over the entire circumference.
The periphery of the synthetic resin film is abutted, and fits into the notch from above
The present invention relates to a container for portable goods, wherein a matching ring is fitted and integrated .

An example of a portable article container according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a use state of the portable article container according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view when the lid of the container shown in FIG. 1 is opened and viewed from the inside. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III in FIG.
It is a line sectional enlarged view. FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a partly cutaway view of the container according to the present invention, showing one mode of fixing a film to a frame.

In FIG. 1, 1 is an edge, and 2 is a film. The edge 1 is made of a thick synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. 2, two frames 11 and 12 symmetrical to each other are joined together by a hinge 13 so as to be integrated. Therefore, the frame 11
And 12 can be overlapped or separated from each other. The coating 2 is made of a transparent synthetic resin and is provided inside each of the frames 11 and 12. Reference numerals 14 and 15 denote locking portions, and the frames 11 and 1
2 are overlapped with each other, their contact ends engage with each other to
And 12 are prevented from separating.

The resin constituting the edge portion 1 must be sufficient to maintain the shape of the entire container, and is therefore preferably a hard resin. Further, in order for the frame 11 and the frame 12 to be integrally formed from the beginning so as to be joined by the hinge portion 13, the hinge portion 13 thus formed can function sufficiently as a hinge. It is preferable to use terephthalate (for example, polyethylene terephthalate) and butadiene / styrene copolymer.

Since the film 2 is required to be flexible, it is preferable to be made of a soft resin. However, it is preferable that the coating 2 swells outward from the frame 1 and usually keeps its expanded shape, and exhibits a flexibility and deforms when a large force is applied from the outside. Resin. Further, since the film 2 is required to be transparent, it is preferable to use a soft vinyl chloride resin, a soft polyalkylene terephthalate (for example, soft polyethylene terephthalate), or a soft polyolefin in this regard.

The edge 1 has two frames 1 as shown in FIG.
The frames 1 and 12 are joined together by a hinge portion 13 to be integrated, and the frames 11 and 12 are configured to be symmetrical to each other. Therefore, at the edge 1, the frames 11 and 12 can be freely overlapped or opened. When the frames 11 and 12 are overlapped, the frame 1
One locking portion 14 is in close contact with the locking portion 15 of the frame 12 at the end, thereby preventing the frames 11 and 12 from opening naturally.

The coating 2 may be flat,
Preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, the film 2 has a middle height and swells to the outside of the container. This is because, when swelling is performed in this manner, the swelled portion becomes compressible and can be packed in a narrow gap.

The periphery of the coating 2 is fixed to the frame 11 or 12. For this fixation, various methods can be employed as described below, depending on the affinity between the resin constituting the film 2 and the resin constituting the frame 11 or 12.

First, when the coating 2 is made of a soft vinyl chloride resin and the frames 11 and 12 are made of a hard vinyl chloride resin, the periphery of the coating 2 is overlapped with the frame 11 or 12 and The film 2 can be immediately fixed to the frame 11 or 12 by applying a high frequency welder or heat sealing. Secondly, when the film 2 is made of a pet, that is, polyethylene terephthalate, and the frame 11 or 12 is also made of a pet, both can be bonded and fixed with an adhesive. Third, the film 2 is composed of pets,
When the frame 11 or 12 is made of polypropylene, it can be bonded by using an instant adhesive such as cyanoacrylate. However, as shown in FIG. Ring for split and fitting 1
1A is provided and fixed between the frame 11 and the ring 11A with the peripheral edge of the film 2 interposed therebetween.

The third fixing method will be further described.
It is as follows. In FIG. 4, the frame 11 is composed of a main body 11B having a stepped inner side and a fitting ring 11A. The main body 11B is provided with projections 11C in some places, and holes 11D are formed on the ring 11A at positions corresponding to the projections 11C. Therefore, when the ring 11A is fitted on the main body 11B, the protrusion 11
C is locked by fitting into the hole 11D. Therefore, the coating 2 is provided with protrusions 11 on its periphery.
A hole 2D is made at a position corresponding to C, and the hole 2D is projected
To fit. The film 2 can be fixed to the frame 11 by fitting the ring 11A from above.

[0017]

According to the present invention, a synthetic resin edge,
Since the synthetic resin film provided inside the edge portion is formed separately, it is easy to make the edge portion thick and make the film transparent and flexible. The edges are symmetrical to each other.
The individual frames are joined together by a hinge part and are integrated so that they can be overlapped with each other, and the film is fixed to the frame at the periphery, so that the container is configured, so that the edge holds the outer shape of the container, The container can maintain a constant shape at all times, and can be packed in a narrow space because the film is flexible and can be deformed. In addition, since the film is transparent, the container itself is clean and beautiful, the contents can be seen through, and the container is made of two superimposable frames. Ru easy der manufacture of the container to the frame and integrally molded. In addition, each frame is inside
Part of the side is cut out stepwise over the entire circumference,
The periphery of the synthetic resin film is in contact with the notch,
The ring that fits into the notch is inserted from the
Because it can be made only by abutment and fitting,
There are various advantages such as easier manufacture of the container .
